DigiTech Whammy Pedal with True Bypass

The legendary Whammy pedal is the premier pitch-shifting pedal for any guitarist's board, and it only gets better with time. In addition to the classic Whammy sound, DigiTech has added chordal Whammy pitch-shifting and true bypass.

Whammy artists have won over 60 Grammys(R) using its unique pitch-shifting sound to enhance their music. Its songs echo the hallways of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and generate acclaim on over 700 million albums around the world. There is no doubt why Whammy is one of the most common sights on guitarists pedalboards.

The Whammy can bring depth to your artistry. Turn your solo into raging, rebellious screams of tone or tame your crowd with highly expressive, ambient chordal bends. Energize your audience with a scratchy note frenzy, bring them in and out of the sound tunnel with musical bursts, or carry them through an existential exploration of full-fretboard pitch translation. The Whammy puts expression into the expression pedal. Don't be the last guitarist without a Whammy!

The whammy pedal is one of the most easily recognizable sounds of the past few decades, and for good reason. You can set this DigiTech Whammy to Classic mode to tap into all of the great octave-up screams that the pedal is most famous for, or experiment with other intervals too. My favorite aspect of this pedal is the other mode: the Chords setting. This enables the DigiTech Whammy to act like a harmonizer pedal, which beefs up chords and gives you sounds that would otherwise be impossible to play with only four fingers. Try experimenting with basic chord shapes while this setting is activated, and see what happens! This is a good addition to your pedal arsenal, and though it seems simple enough, the possibilities for new sounds are endless.

"DigiTech Whammy Pedal with True Bypass"

Overall:
This is my 3rd Whammy and I love this pedal. The new 5th generation with true bypass and polyphonic tracking is just superb. I tend tend to use the harmonizer modes on this more than the note shift modes. A 5th/4th up or dwn is a marvelous tone, no glitching or tracking error like the previous models. Best harmonizer unit there is, no set key, no locked scale, complete freedom of expression. So many features and uses apart from the worn out weeeeooo thing too many do. A great pedal, a heavy fusion masterpiece.

Style of Music: heavy fusion, blues to metal, no country or anything else

"Digitech Whammy Review"

Overall:
This pedal is amazing. I just got it today. The two settings I use the most are the Octave Harmony and the 2 Octaves Up. I've used all the settings, played on both Chord and Classic modes. I prefer the Chords mode, it just sounds better to me. The octaves up and down are very smooth and clear sounding. Overall this Pedal is definitely worth the $200.

Style of Music: I mainly play Groove Metal. But I also play Thrash Metal, Heavy Metal, Death Metal, Extreme Metal, and Speed Metal.
